Venice

The day after we returned from our Dolomite and Austria trip, Brian had a t-ball game. As soon as that was over, we hopped on a train at the Sacile train station and ended up in Venice for lunch. We ate canal-side near the train station and then spent a few hours wandering around on foot and via vaporetti. We walked past all the major sights and wound our way through some of the less touristy places. We stopped at Harry’s Bar near St. Mark’s Square to visit our landlady’s son, Claudio, who manages the bar there. He gave us complimentary Bellini’s (they were invented at Harry’s Bar) and gave the kids a huge bag of candy. We did some more wandering and had some gelato and ate dinner at a quick little cafeteria before boarding a late train back home. I think we got back to the house at 11 pm, it was a long day! The entire next 3 weeks, it rained almost continuously, so we are glad we took advantage of our last sunny day for a while!
